Most important thing to know about the DE6: press X, "toggle sit/stand", when entering the cab. If you stand or crouch you can't see ahead very well.

[@rogueleadrgaming8907]

Very true

[@alvit123]

27:00 Dynamic Brakes work by using the electricity from the traction motors which causes the traction motors to rotate in a different direction or They are slower. then the electricity goes to the "Dynamic Brake resistor banks" at this point the electricity from the traction motors is then converted into heat and They can emit a bright red glow causing resistance which causes the train to slow down which is what happens when the train Engineer Applies the dynamic Brake

Neat!

[@lukegn]

Thank you!

[@NinaFelwitch]

I hope we'll get something like the DR Class 250 or DB Class E 410, or DB Class 210 in the future.

[@rogueleadrgaming8907]

That would be cool

[@lefthandstudios]

I wish they would add a de6 b-unit

[@Enjoy_my_1st_Amendment]

Used the slug with de2 from the start, 2nd or 3rd purchase i made.
Could really bury the throttle with out much worry of overheating, until i hooked a second de2 to the other end.
Went to double dh4s and can pull alot more than the de2s w/slug.
But starting out the combo made some good starting cash.

[@cpt.jamming]

Can you put a slug in the front and in the back in sandbox mode?

[@rogueleadrgaming8907]

Yes, you should be able to use it on both ends of the loco at the same time

[@Eternon2000]

​@@rogueleadrgaming8907 Then can't you just distribute them like: Slug-loco-slug-slug-loco-slug...

[@rogueleadrgaming8907]

youd have to have them disjointed like slug-loco-slug, slug-loco-slug
you can only have 2 slugs hooked up with the mu cable, one on either side of the loco@@Eternon2000

[@Digidi4]

does the slug need repairs?

[@rogueleadrgaming8907]

If it breaks yes

[@skydriver5709]

I ran a De2 and slug from Harbor to Food Factory, and total repair needed on the slug was less than $200 on realistic. Wear and tear is minimal cost, since it doesn't have it's own engine, therefore no fuel, oil, etc and nothing to damage during normal use.
The real cost to run it is indirect. Because of the slug's weight, whatever you're running it with will burn more fuel and oil, so you're really paying for the slug repairs on your locomotive.

@@skydriver5709 thank you
